(USA TODAY) -- A Canadian man's need for weed has left him in need of a job.

Sunith
Baheerathan tweeted Tuesday that he needed a "spliff" and was looking
for a marijuana dealer to deliver a "20 sac chop" (2 grams) to his place
of employment, a Mr. Lube automotive center in the Toronto suburb of
Vaughan, the Canadian Press reported Wednesday.

Baheerathan's appeal attracted local interest, including one notably enthusiastic reply.

The officer who oversees the York police Twitter account told The National Post on Wednesday that its humorous tweet was a reminder that the department monitors social media.

"We
don't speak off-the-cuff in these types of situations," Constable Blair
McQuillan. "We sat down and decided to take a light-handed approach."

He did not indicate whether police would investigate Baheerathan or press charges.

In February, Ontario's top court upheld
the country's ban on marijuana. The country's health minister had
announced in December that the government would stop granting medical
marijuana licences to users, and that only doctors would be able to
prescribe medicinal pot.
